Presently, chemists working to design more efficient organic solar cells rely heavily on “post-mortem” or post-manufacture analysis of the distribution of the constituent materials of the cells they produce. InContinue Reading
A carbon-based solar cell, does not have a crystalline structure. It is more like a form of plastic. That’s why an organic solar cell is thin, lightweight, and flexible. ThoseContinue Reading
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur have used technique of inkjet printing to print thin nickel oxide films to make organic solar cells. Organic solar cells contain carbon-basedContinue Reading
Solar energy offers a cleaner alternative to traditional fossil fuels. However, current solar panels face limitations. They often require high-temperature manufacturing, resulting in a significant carbon footprint. Moreover, they onlyContinue Reading
At Iowa State University, a research team is investigating hybrid perovskites that use inorganic materials like cesium in place of organics, a change that makes the cells stable at highContinue Reading
In a significant development, Toyobo Corporation Limited, along with the French government research institute, CEA, has come up with trial organic photovoltaics (OPV) small cells on a glass substrate alongContinue Reading
Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be just the thing to accelerate spray-on solar cell technology, which could revolutionize how consumers use energy. A research team at the University of Central FloridaContinue Reading
Perovskite solar cells are a mixture of organic molecules and inorganic elements within a single crystalline structure and can be bonded to a flexible backing, which means they can beContinue Reading
